THE INEVITABLE RESULT.

The loyal men OF Utah are an inde-
pendent class and express their senti-
ments without fear or favor. The dupes
OF the priesthood wait for the
slogan call OF the Presidency, and obey
it to a man. The Tucker Edmunds
bill, shorn OF its appointive provision,
was a disappointment to the loyalists
and they expressed their dissatisfaction
as individuals without waiting TO catch
the keynote from leaders or would-he
leaders of high or low degree. The
whippers-in OF priestly ring-masters
whistle their graveyard changes over the
division in the non Mormon ranks, as
they are pleased to call this independ-
ent expression OF opinion. But they
will learn when the bill becomes a law
that the real Americans Of Utah will
close up their ranks, and with touch of
elbows, meet any and all perjured sup
porters OF disloyal organization at the
ballot-box. Whether the loyal ticket shall
be made up by the joint action OF national

loyal citizen without distinction OF party,
matters but little. One thing is certain,
the ultimate victory OF right over might
of the Nation over band of Ishmael-
ties, OF loyalty over disloyalty, is
assured, and the Herdld'S "scoun-
drelly bill, conceived in wickedness
and born in the idea OF wholesale theft, +"
will furnish "a stepping stone to final
success. It may be well to sound the
depths OF degradation to which the
churchmen will descend in order to hold
on to ill-gotten Office and pelf Rather
than to lose political control, it is be-
lieved the leaders, under assurances OF
amnesty for the past and OF guarantees
OF political supremacy in the future,
would formally ignore polygamy as a
tenet OF their church. By taking the
proposed test oath, they abjure all former
professions OF obedience to principle and
proclaim themselves to the world either
rs apostates or hypocrites.
On the other side, test will be fur.
nished as to the sincerity OF those Gen
tiles who have hitherto kept aloof from
the polls on the proiessed ground OF the
helplessness OF minority parties. There
are men who, from Indifference or from
some other motives, have failed to iden-
tify themselves with any positive mora

Utah Times has for some time insisted
that under proper management the mine
might have proved itself horn OF plenty
instead Of being used to impale
its trusting shareholders. Perhaps Elder
King, who never INDUCES in a horn,

the courts decide that one must be APP

Utah have, indirectly, rightful interest
in the management OF the representative
mines OF Utah. Their good or Ill returns

Territory. Had the Horn Silver mine

would probably have kept up its lick as IA

NECESSARY DISCIPLINE.

The DEMOCRAT congratulates its con-
temporaries in Zion who have libel suits
on their hands. Like the diseases OF
childhood, measles, mumps and the like,
they seem to be necessary to tone down
the gushing utterances of precocious in
families. The Neys overhowed with de-
nunciation OF Deputy Marshal Thompson
for killing the fleeing fugitive from jus
tice-Dalton; and now that Thompson is
acquitted by jury OF his countrymen
and reinstated in his Office, he returns
the compliment by suing the paper for
libel, placing his damages at $685. 900
Gentlemen OF the press, follow the ex'
ample OF The DEMocRAr-first be sure
you are right, then go ahead in the use OF
temperate and dignifed language.

IT would seem as if the political action
OF men in power was controlled and di-
rected by personal, local or class interests,
with but little, ii any, regard to the
principles or policy of the political
parties to which they belong and
sent. Given the peculiar money
or class interest to which the individual
legislator or Cabinet member is person
ally attached, and in defense or support
of it he mounts his hobby and gallops
rough-shod over his party platform.
The platforms of both parties insist
on home appointments for the Terri
tories In action, both parties repudiate
platforms.

THE House Of Representatives has Ie-
fused to pass the Dependent pension bill
over the Presidents veto by vote OF l75
in favor OF such passage against l25. The
Senate had passed the bill over the veto
by two-thirds vote. The rasping debate
in the House is but foretaste Of the fiery
contest in the next Presidential campaign,
when the whole question OF pension legs-
lation, involving more OF less sectional
feeling, will figure on the stnmn.

SHlPWRECKS.

No other word SO forcibly expresses
the quality and condition of the average
mind in Salt Lake City as crankiness.
Like poorly constructed ship, carrying
too much sail with little ballast and a
top-heavy deck cargo, many a prophet
seer and revelator meets every require
ment as fully equipped crank. Let a
stranger, acquainted with the
ways OF the world and judge
OF men, listen, in Tabernacle or ward
meeting house, to the gatherings
OF this people who know" whereof
they affirm, and he will reasonably con-
clude that some huge asylum for idiots
and insane has turned its inmates out for
picnic. Nor can the Mormon fraternity
claim monopoly Of cranks. 1t is in the
air, and there isn't an organization of any
kind in the city but contains enough of
latent mental dynamite to blow the whole
concern with every individual in it sky
high. Western Indifference to crazy
theories and extravagant talk, however,
acts as a safety valve and lets the other
wise dangerous element off with more
or less OF noise. Not long since
we listened to speaker old enough to be
a wise and well-halanced man, who in
hall hours's talk, informed his hearers
that he had been fifty years a member OF
theiMormon Church. That he had not only
ceased to believe in the Church of L. D.
S., but in the Bible as we'll. He said that
the Mormon Bible was as good as the
Christian Bible, and both were false.
For fifty years he had been hand and
glove with one OF the most shameful
manifestations oil vice and disloyalty,
had taken the endowment oaths with
all their internal adjuncts, and vet
essayed to teach men who had followed
the stars and stripes through the fire of
battle, in the duties OF citizenship and OF
reverence for the flag. The man was
possessed OF natural force and ability.
He had followed sham to its legitimate
ending, and in losing faith in that, made
shipwreck OF his faith in the future.
There are many such in this Territory |
The Mormon problem in its blasting in /
tlnence on individual faith and hope can |
never be fully realized or solved.

n was brutal Mormon bishop who
recently, in Ogden, officiated at the
funeral OF a young girl who had COM
mitted suicide. A being who could pray
and sing over the grave OF a polygamist
who had trampled upon womanhood and
blasted the life OF childhood, and yet pre-.
tend to 80 much horror at the suicidal
death OF poor demented girl, must be a
monster rather than man. One would

1t is an ordinary affair in country life for
farmer to discharge shotgun at trespass.
ers, and he seems to be unaware of the fact
that he can be convicted of murder in case
the shot proves fatal. The same impress
sion, although in a less degree, prevails in
the city. There are thousands of shop
keepers who would not scruple to shoot a
person caught robbing their till, and as for
a housebreaker, there is scarcely one man
in million who would not think himself
justified in shooting down the scoundrel at
sight. Yet little reflection should con-
vince any one that he has no right to shoot
in any Of the above cases. The law on this
point is sufficiently explicit You are not
to shoot unless in peril Of your life, and not
then unless there is no chance of escape by
Hight. You may shoot a burglar or a high
wayman because you have right to infer
that the burglar or highwayman is armed
and will shoot you, and because you can
not escape. But you have no right to
shoot the thief whom you may detect in
leaving your hall with your overcoat, nor
the pickpocket whom you catch with his
hand in your pocket. The principle upon
which the law is founded is obvious. You
have moral and legal right to defend your
life or the lie of a fellow being, but YOU
have no right to be tie Judge and execu-
toner in the case OF misdemeanor or
felony. The Courts exist for the purpose
OF Furnishing the crimes of HOUSEKEEPING,
felony, thieving and fruit-steallng, and
when you presume to punish them YOU are
rightly amenable to the law. If it were not
for such provision, society would fall into

General Grant Refused Wine.

Let us take q few facts: When travelling
IN India he was surrounded with social
customs, to disregard which required the
strongest will and the firmest purpose.
Not few foreign residents in the East are
hard drinkers. There were not hours
enough in the day for Grant to accept the
invitations he received. To be courteous
he not infrequently accepted invitations to
half dozen tiffins in the same day, at each
one of which he would remain few mo-
ments, until the last one had been reached.
At all these gatherings wine and LIQUORS
were freely used He became so thorough
ly disguised with the custom that on his re-
turn to his hotel, he said to his wife "Ju-
liza, do not intend to take another glass of
wine to please anybody" That was in
1873. and from that time forward to Mt.
McGregor, his temperance habits ere
above suspicion.
From Calcutta he went to Burmah. The
reception committee furnished large bas-
kets of champagne and liquors These
were subject to Grants orders. To the
disappointment and disgust of the COM
mittee the baskets were not opened. Sur
prise Yves expressed, but Grant simply
said: Gentlemen, ] do not wish any
thing to drink" and the baskets were re-
turned unopened to Calcutta. received
accounts OF THIS incident from General
Lltchtield, late Consul-Genersl to India.
and from Mrs. Grant.
After Grant reached California his old
friends were the witnesses Of this new
proof of his personal decision. While in
the City of Mexico his enthusiastic ad-
mirers invited him to what is called So
wine dinner" Bishop Harris was present,
and he informed me that General Grant
deliberately turned his glasses upside down.

High License In New York.

The following appeared in the Living
ston IN. \. J Republican in reference to the
high license issue i'll that State:
A letter from eX Governor Nyron II
Clark, the only Governor who has been
elected Governor of this State on dis
tinctive temperance issue, has been pub
lished lately. He is the only man ever
elected by the Prohibition;sts of New York
to any important position. The letter is
significant in his frank acknowledgment
that prohibition, though sound in theory
is impossible in practice in New York. The
Prohibitionists in this State have for wears
so managed it that their efforts have re-
suited in the election of Democrats, and
have actually numbered the temperance
cause. This fact has been boldly stated by
Republican papers, and the Prohibitionists
themselves are beginning to realize ii, and
become advocates of high license Follow
